Curzon Cinema Consultancy Project

Before partnering with Julie's Bicycle, Curzon Cinemas had already begun working on environmental sustainability initiatives of their own. However these had not been aligned with their core business strategy and were not deeply embedded in the company’s values. Curzon wanted to develop a strategy and incorporate practical actions across all of their cinemas making sustainability part of Curzon’s working culture and repositioning Curzon as a sector leader on sustainability.

Results:

In working with Julie's Bicycle Curzon have begun to develop a holistic approach to sustainability which covers environmental policy, energy use, procurement, staff roles and responsibilities, staff training and mentorship, audience communications and events/programming. They will be Creative Green certified in 2017.

February was packed with firm and vigorous action against climate change and current policy, and record-breaking climate events. Yingbi Lee unpacks the key moments, what they say about the climate movement and where we go from here.

Accelerator is a new strand of work within the pioneer Arts Council England Environmental Programme, recruiting two Cohorts of up to ten organisations to work with Julie’s Bicycle to advance their sustainable practice.
